query criteria = Now()

[wasim_sono]

Dear all

I have a table having a date field. Now I designed a form based on a query and that query has designed through above said table. I gave =Now() in date field criteria in query.
Now I required that as the form open it matches the date field contents with current or system date and show all records fulfil the criteria. but I got null record.
Any one have an idea? if yes then please help me to figure out that problem.

Thanks.

Wasim, I do not think that you need the "=" in the Criteria Row.
The other problem that you may be having is that Now() has the time as well as the date.
Try using the Date() function instead.

Dear OBP

I have tried Now() without '=' but didn't get eresult. Also Date function is not working. Would be you kindly explain the syntax of Date()?

Thanks.

Hi,

Are you sure..the date being compared to NOW() is actually a date..? Is it Date/Time data type in the table structures...also please paste the sql query..so we can see it..

Hi

yes the datatype of table field is date/time and fixed to as 'short date'.
the query is as under

[vba]
SELECT Main_Mail.TicklerDate, Main_Mail.Tickler_Remarks, Main_Mail.Sub
FROM Main_Mail
WHERE (((Main_Mail.TicklerDate)=Now()));
[/vba]

Thanks for an early reply.

You aren't using either Date or Now in that query.

You are asking for a parameter.

SELECT Main_Mail.TicklerDate, Main_Mail.Tickler_Remarks, Main_Mail.Sub
FROM Main_Mail
WHERE ((Main_Mail.TicklerDate)=Date());
